f i IMPROVED DISH-WASHER.

The Schedule referred to in these Lettere Patent and making part of thesame To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARY HOBSON, of \Villiamsburg, in the county ofCallaway and State of Missouri, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in DishJVashers; and I dmhereby declare the following to bea full, clear, and exact description of the nature thereof, sutiieicnt`to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention' appertainsto fully understand and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings making part of this speciiication, in which-Figure lisa perspective view of the device illustrating my invention,thclid beingr removed and a portion of one end of the box `broken away.l

Figure 2 is a side` view showing the internal devices in dotted lines. lSimilarletters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the twofigures.

My invention consists in a perforated receptacle which is suspended froma crank to which motion is applied, so that when the dishes are placedin said receptacle they may be subjected to reciprocating immersions inthe water in the box or case which conl tains the water and receptacle',as will be hereinafter described.

.In the drawings- A represents a ,box or case which is of suitable form,

, and in the upper end of which is mounted in suitable bearings, adouble crank-shaft, B, its outer end being provided with acrank-haiulle, C, or other operating device, whereby motion iscommunicated to said crankshaft.

or tray, D, onwhich the dishes to be `washed are placed. The means ofsuspension in the present case are by arms E, which are journaled to thecrank-shaft, and

Clean water is then introduced into the box, and the dishes subjected toanother washing operation, after which the water may be let out and thedishes allowed to drain, or they may b'e entirely removed from the box,and the'water remain therein,l as is most desirable or convenient.

point, and the crank has just passed the dead center,

the pawl is dropped and engages with the notch. The receptacle is thenheld in its elevated position without manual assistance.

In the present case I form the lid or case H of the box A in sections,for assistance in obtaining access to the interior of the box. One orboth end sections may be raised, or the entire lid be removed, as mostdesirable. t

During the operation of washing the lid should be firmly secured inplace by means of hooks, eyes, bolts, or other fastenings, to preventleakage.

It is well to line the interior of the box with noncorrosive metal,andconstruct the receptacle D of the same material, but my inventionrequires no, limitation thereto.

. Having thus described my invention,

IVhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Let- The suspendedreciprocating reccptaclcD, for the purpose of a dish-washer,substantially as described.

To the above I have signed my name this 17 th day of September, 1869.
